Dealing with Stress

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 8oz. to 20 oz.

The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work/life down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later after you've rested."

"There is one body and one Spirit. In the same way you were called to share one hope." ~ Ephesians 4:4

When we are aware of our Oneness with Source, with God, there is no suffering. ~ Patrick Ryan, Awakened Wisdom

Seek the consciousness that we are all one. I have come to show you a unity beyond duality. I have come to remove the divisions between all religions. There is only one humanity. ~ Sri Babaji 18 April, 1980

There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. ~ I Corinthians 12:4 & 6

It is erroneous to conceive of humankind, made of the Spirit of God, ever separated from God. Humankind, however, is capable of believing in separation from God, and inevitably, living in fear, guilt, shame and consequently suffering because of that false belief. ~ Steve Brannon

We are one in the spirit . . . and I pray that all unity will one day be restored. ~ song

I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. ~ John 17:22

Light Language Emerging ~ Activating Ascension Codes & Integrating Body, Soul, and Spirit Light is the language of the creator. When spoken verbally, light language can create, bring a message, blessing, or healing as a response to a request a soul has made.

The genealogy of the Bates family of Cherokee County, Georgia is traced back to Charlton Bates and Nancy Kelly (O'Kelly) Bates, who are first mentioned living in South Carolina in 1812. Through DNA testing, we know that our family has a ancestor blood-related to James Shockley Bates.

The descending lineage mentioned in this book are David Ward and Nancy Martin, Thomas F. Bates and Sarah Elizabeth Ward, Savannah Bates and Alexander Newton Smith, and Lemuel Harris Bates and Lillian Margaret Smith.

Many of the children and extended family members of these family heads are mentioned in this book, and more than 200 photos document the journey.

Of broader interest, the book contains some history of the Cherokee and Hall Counties of Georgia as remembered by the Bates family who lived in the area.
